John Morrison 3,766 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Well done! With only 139 pix online, I reckon that's a good start... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Betty LaRue 3,165 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Congratulations! Well done! You might sell even more if you put the scientific names for any animals or plants in your captions and tags. Most of my nature images are searched by the scientific names. I know, it’s a pain, lol.

Colin Woods 798 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yes, you really should put the latin names of all plants and animals in the caption and keywords. If you can't identify something then post the picture on the forum with a title like "Flower ID needed". This forum is awash with knowledge and helpful people and almost invariable someone can identify the object. I have seen flowers, trees, animals, tanks, planes, cars and helicopters all ID'd in a couple of days. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Another tip I would give you is with the wildlife shots, as with all others, always say in the caption where they are - county and UK is often sufficient, or even just UK  Kumar Link to post Share on other sites

NYCat 2,550 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Why don't you test it. Note the position of an image in a search and then add it to the caption. Wait 24 hours for the update and then see if it has moved. Â Paulette Link to post Share on other sites

Way back, there were discussions about this and I took it in that searches were stronger if the important tags were included in both. Link to post Share on other sites
